ABOUT R66 TURBINETRUCK
Autonomous Power. Assured Delivery: Modern military operations increasingly require sustained logistics in environments where crewed flights introduce unacceptable human risk and ground transport is constrained or denied.
Preserving the reliability, performance, and production maturity of the R66 platform, the R66 TURBINETRUCK addresses this challenge by repurposing the cabin entirely for essential payload, enabling mission-critical logistics and resupply operations in the most challenging environments.

Flat, Load-Bearing Cargo Floor
The reinforced, reconfigurable flat floor supports varied loading requirements, up to 1,300 lb of internal payload, and easy under-floor access. Seven integrated tie-down points provide flexible load securing across a range of cargo configurations.
Front Clamshell Loading Access
Laterally opening clamshell doors at the nose of the aircraft allow direct loading of full-width cargo, simplifying logistics workflows and reducing ground handling complexity. Integrated passive sealing and water diversion supports rain-resistant operation.

Secondary Side Access
A right-hand baggage door provides additional access for smaller cargo items and rapid loading tasks.
Autonomy-Ready Integration
Purpose-designed to support the integration of multiple autonomous, AI-driven, remotely and optionally piloted flight solutions, allowing operators to select control architectures that meet operational requirements without dependency on a single autonomy provider.
